Ed,

I lurk, but I have to say, that was so well put, I may spend the rest of the day contemplating your comment.

That is simply brilliant! Well done!

even better than a link, reading the source is like looking deep into a Mystery, a Riddle wrapped in an Enigma that mostly works the way you thought it might (the romantic bit).

Hi Michael, This question illustrates how our access to "information" has changed since the 1990's where all linux/nix tech was best discussed in newsgroups and mailing lists, and today where extensive immediate sources are available from the RIGHT SOURCE. I understand that Michael is usually interested in fostering discussion on the list, and through that finds he learns and retains information better, but I usually experience my inner voice yelling: "USE THE SOURCE Luke" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemsExplained On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 8:56 PM, Michael Havens <bmike1@gmail.com> wrote:

I remember an east side meeting I went to (or maybe it was you tube) and this is what I remember.... Windows stores data sequentially like so: 11112222333344445555 and if you were to delete 2 and 5 then you were to save more data it would be 11116666333344446666 linux scatters the data around your disk like so: 1111000022220000333300004444000055550000 then you delete 2 and five and then write more data it would look like: 11110000000000003333000044440000000000006666 is my understanding of this correct? :-)~MIKE~(-:
